Bluetooth Continually times out on ConnectCore8x SBC

I’m running into an issue on my ConnectCore 8x where bluetooth continually times out when trying to do hcitool -i hci0 scan.

I’m running the dey3.0 (zeus) digi image for the board (have reverted to this to rule out changes I made with my own images, still no joy)

BT is present during boot:
root@ccimx8x-sbc-pro:~# dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
[ 0.148355] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22
[ 0.148410] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized

[ 2.337163] Bluetooth: HIDP (Human Interface Emulation) ver 1.2
[ 2.343114] Bluetooth: HIDP socket layer initialized

but then when i try to do hcitool scan I get errors like this:

root@ccimx8x-sbc-pro:~# hcitool -i hci0 scan
Scanning …
[ 1130.985535] Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x0401 tx timeout

root@ccimx8x-sbc-pro:~#

bluetoothctl shows the device is there:

hci tool sees it also:

==========

bluetoothctl scan does not work either:

root@ccimx8x-sbc-pro:~# bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# scan on
Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.InProgress
[bluetooth]#

Is this a hardware issue? if not does anyone have any idea how I can resolve it?
thanks

I was running on revB hardware. Moving to revC seems to have made this go away
